Description

In the last episode, we delved into Rob's background and how he got started in M&A. The tables have been turned, and it's Toby's turn to wallow under the spotlight.We learn quickly that Toby's first M&A experience was after joining a Financial Services business and leveraging his project management expertise. And he realized this was something he enjoyed doing because it allowed him to utilize his skills and expertise across the whole of the business. As Toby puts it, he became bilingual and could speak the language of every department at every level.  Toby also enjoyed the freedom and flexibility of moving seamlessly up, down and across the organisation as part of the M&A execution process, unfettered by internal barriers and politics.Fast forward, and Toby has completed 50 M&A projects, half pre-deal, and the other half post-deal. He feels privileged to have had this opportunity across his career, and he doesn't envisage slowing down too much while he is enjoying himself.
